Backed by three homers, Clyde Wright pitched the Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. Don Money homered on Joe Coleman's first pitch of the game, Johnny Briggs added a round-tripper in the sixth and Dave May chased Coleman with a circuit clout in the eighth. Wright held the Tigers to three hits and their lone run was unearned on an error by Robin Yount. [The Sporting News]
